The Next Superstar?

Chances are, you are currently successful in your own chosen field or you wouldn’t be considering writing a book. But your career needs the added credibility that only a published book can bring. The next you is the person who walks into a business meeting with your newly published book under your arm and watches as peers gape in awe at your charismatic “published” presence. You are immediately considered an expert in your chosen field, and that perception can propel you a long way.

What About Self-Publishing?

This program can help you investigate the pros and cons of the major decision regarding self-publishing your own ebook with many of the available technologies today. Our coaching program assumes the target publisher is a major house with name credibility and prestige who will pay you good money for your masterpiece.

Why? Because that prestige automatically transfers to your book in the mind of the buyer. Generally, you don’t find top-selling books coming off the self-publisher’s printer or presses. In fact, the average self-published book sells only a few hundred copies, which generate little opportunity for multiple revenue streams.

A select few authors have carved out a successful niche relying on the self-publishing format. Learn how they did it. Then you will have the facts to make an unbiased decision for your project and goals.

Whatever direction you ultimately take—self-publishing or traditional publishing with a major publishing house––this coaching program has much to offer: from writing a quality book quickly, to marketing your masterpiece, to developing an entire line of products from that content.

Dianna shares more about the world of publishing in this podcast.

If the group coaching packages do not fit your needs or timeframe for where you are in your publishing venture and career plan, individual coaching may be the perfect arrangement for you. Some people call with a larger project scope in mind:

“I need someone to help me build a business and publishing books is just part of that plan.”

“Can you help me ‘up my game’? I need to increase the value of my brand in the marketplace.”

“I’ve self-published a couple of books, but they just didn’t do for me what I’d hoped. I want to get to the big-time and draw media attention and go for some big-name clients.”

“I need a plan for growing my platform to sustain my offering and reputation for a long-term career—not just be a flash-in-the-pan with one book that nobody remembers.”

“Clients are calling me about licensing my IP. And I want to put things into audio and do online learning courseware. I need to turn my content into a real business.”

These are the kinds of issues and calls that we receive weekly—people who are thinking beyond the book. If you need coaching in any of these areas, email us about an individual coaching arrangement.
